Subject: Re: abusive guy on addict-I

Well, at least one member filters the guy's posts.

but then he also filters Ken's! (But he admitted to me he

usually retrieves them from the trash and reads them).

I prefer him to the shrink. the shrink just insults you in

four syllables instead of four letters. four letters are

more honest and take less time to read.
